And there is no cure for hanta virus now even after all these years. Science has been using the similarities of different species for research for thousands of years to learn more about diseases and anatomy. Aristotle would cut up animals to learn biology. This is nothing new. The evolutionists are like Clintonites who claim that everything that is worthwhile is due to evolution.
Further the whole claim of the article is false. It is easily disproven by the following article on Dna Help from a Deadly Fish . Where it shows that the fugu fish - long and far away extremely distant (as far as evolution goes) to humans has been giving tremendous help is helping scientists learn more about human DNA - including the discovery of over a thousand genes which the human genome project - the best that science could do - failed to discover.
The above proves two things:
1. Scientists, real scientists ignore evolution and go where the evidence and their instincts leads them.
2. That such an evolutionarily distant species has so much alike to humans shows that evolution is false. Such a distant species should be far too unrelated to us if evolution were true, however, it is not to be wondered that a Creator would use and reuse what worked in one species for the same purposes in another species just like an inventor would not reinvent the wheel but use it in further inventions.
So keep looking for something by which evolution has helped humanity. When you do, we will have to weigh it against how evolution has been detrimental to science and humanity in general (such as by giving scientific legitimacy to the mass murderers of over a hundred million people in the 20th century).
First, who cares if there is no cure for the hanta virus? That wasn't the point. The point was, researchers were able to identify the killer through discovering its place on the tree of life. We give you the evidence you claim does not exist, and you move the goalposts. Typical creationis.
Secondly, if you think the fugu fish research belies the article, you have a very poor understanding indeed of genetics (as if that weren't already apparent by your posts). You share a lot of genes with the fugu fish. You share a lot of genes with every critter on this planet. However, you share more of your genes with your closest relative, the chimpanzee. It is these shared genes which allow researchers to place critters on the tree of life.
